Description
本發明係關於用於壓入工件(特別是鈑金零件)中的功能元件、具有帶孔的工件(特別是鈑金零件)和這樣的功能元件的元件組裝、以及製造元件組裝的方法。 The present invention relates to functional elements for pressing into workpieces, in particular sheet metal parts, component assemblies having workpieces with holes, in particular sheet metal parts, and such functional elements, and methods for producing the element assemblies.
這樣的元件通常具有功能區段,該功能區段又用於緊固額外的元件。它們廣泛用於汽車工業等。 Such elements usually have functional sections, which in turn serve to fasten additional elements. They are widely used in the automotive industry, etc.
功能元件可以是螺栓元件,其具有螺紋的軸,或者螺母元件,例如可以具有內螺紋的螺母元件。 The functional element can be a screw element, which has a threaded shaft, or a nut element, for example, which can have an internal thread.
功能元件在不同的設計中是已知的。一方面,例如具有鉚釘區段的鉚釘元件,該鉚釘區段在附接到鈑金零件時變形,以形成鉚釘卷邊並且利用頭部形成用於鈑金零件中的孔的邊緣的環形接收器。在具有這樣的鉚釘元件下,功能元件在附接到鈑金零件時變形。此外,已知壓入元件,其中,元件本身在附接到鈑金零件時不會刻意變形,而是鈑金材料本身變形,以使鈑金零件與相應的壓入元件的底切部接合。 Functional elements are known in different designs. On the one hand, for example, a rivet element having a rivet section that deforms when attached to a sheet metal part to form a rivet bead and with a head to form an annular receiver for the edge of a hole in the sheet metal part. With such a rivet element, the functional element deforms when attached to the sheet metal part. Furthermore, press-fit elements are known in which the element itself is not deliberately deformed when attached to the sheet metal part, but the sheet metal material itself deforms to engage the sheet metal part with the undercut of the corresponding press-fit element.
為了密封功能元件與工件、特別是鈑金零件之間的連接,通常向接觸工件的功能元件的部分塗敷為此目的提供的塗層。該塗敷發生在單獨的製造步驟中,這導致工作量增加,從而導致更高的成本和增加時間要求。另外,該解决方案由於塗層而導致增加對環境影響。 In order to seal the connection between the functional element and the workpiece, in particular sheet metal parts, the parts of the functional element that come into contact with the workpiece are usually coated with a coating provided for this purpose. This coating takes place in a separate manufacturing step, which results in increased workload, resulting in higher costs and increased time requirements. In addition, this solution has an increased environmental impact due to the coating.
本發明的目的是提供功能元件和元件組裝,通過該功能元件和元件組裝,與先前已知的解决方案相比,可以以相對較少的工作量實現緊密連接,並且可以實現减少對環境的影響。 The object of the present invention is to provide functional elements and element assemblies, by means of which tight connections can be achieved with relatively little effort compared to previously known solutions and a reduced impact on the environment can be achieved .
該目的由獨立請求項的標的滿足。有利的實施例為附屬請求項的標的。 This purpose is satisfied by the subject matter of the independent claim item. An advantageous embodiment is the subject of an attached claim.
根據本發明第一方面的功能元件適於壓入工件、特別是壓入鈑金零件中,並且包括:功能區段;以及緊固區段,緊固區段具有:抵靠面(abutment surface),其用於將壓入力引入到功能元件中;工件接觸面,其設置相對抵靠面,可以與工件接觸,並且特別地具有凸緣狀設計;以及密封區域,其用於接收工件的位移的材料,所述密封區域沿功能元件的軸向和/或徑向設置在工件接觸面與功能區段之間。密封區域形成用於位移的材料的接觸面,以密封功能元件與工件之間的連接,其中,接觸面具有:第一部分面,其傾斜於功能元件的軸向延伸,並且在功能元件的壓入方向上觀察時聚集;和第二部分面,其鄰接第一部分面,傾斜於功能元件的軸向延伸,並且在功能元件的壓入方向上觀察時發散。 The functional element according to the first aspect of the invention is suitable for pressing into a workpiece, in particular a sheet metal part, and comprises: a functional section; and a fastening section, the fastening section having an abutment surface, It is used to introduce the pressing force into the functional element; the workpiece contact surface, which is provided with an opposing abutment surface, can come into contact with the workpiece and has in particular a flange-like design; and the sealing area, which is used for receiving the material of the displacement of the workpiece , the sealing region is arranged between the workpiece contact surface and the functional section in the axial and/or radial direction of the functional element. The sealing area forms a contact surface of the material for displacement in order to seal the connection between the functional element and the workpiece, wherein the contact surface has a first partial surface which extends obliquely to the axial direction of the functional element and which is pressed into the functional element and a second partial surface, which adjoins the first partial surface, extends obliquely to the axial direction of the functional element and diverges when viewed in the pressing-in direction of the functional element.
第二部分面直接或間接地鄰接第一部分面。 The second partial surface adjoins the first partial surface directly or indirectly.
由於聚集的第一部分面和與第一部分面鄰接的發散的第二部分面,形成接觸面以設計成使得工件的位移的材料可以最佳地壓靠在接觸件上,以實現高緊密性。 Due to the converging first partial face and the diverging second partial face adjoining the first partial face, the contact face is formed to be designed so that the displaced material of the workpiece can be optimally pressed against the contact for high tightness.
功能元件特別可以是壓入螺栓(特別是具有凸緣的壓入螺栓)或者是螺母元件,所述壓入螺栓和螺母元件較佳地與延展性鈑金零件一起使用,以便於壓入製程。在這方面,在壓入螺栓中,軸較佳地具有外螺紋並形成功能區段。相反,螺母元件較佳地具有形成功能區段的內螺紋。其它特徵也可以代替螺紋,例如,這些特徵適於緊固額外的元件或適於提供另一功能。功能區段還可以部分地或完全地形成為光滑的銷或光滑的孔。緊固區段是功能元件的區段,使功能元件緊固到工件。 The functional elements can in particular be press-in bolts, in particular press-in bolts with flanges, or nut elements, which are preferably used with ductile sheet metal parts to facilitate the press-in process. In this respect, in the press-fit screw, the shaft preferably has an external thread and forms the functional section. Instead, the nut element preferably has an internal thread forming the functional section. Other features may also be used in place of the threads, for example, these features are suitable for securing additional elements or for providing another function. The functional section can also be formed partially or completely as smooth pins or smooth holes. The fastening section is the section of the functional element that fastens the functional element to the workpiece.
壓入方向表示功能元件被壓入鈑金零件的方向。壓入方向特別可以在功能元件的軸向方向上延伸,並且實際上較佳地從抵靠面沿工件接觸面的方向延伸。為了有效力的引入,抵靠面和/或工件接觸面有利地較佳大致垂直於壓入方向延伸。 The press-in direction indicates the direction in which the functional element is pressed into the sheet metal part. The pressing-in direction can extend in particular in the axial direction of the functional element, and actually preferably extends from the abutment surface in the direction of the workpiece contact surface. For efficient introduction, the abutment surface and/or the workpiece contact surface advantageously preferably extends approximately perpendicular to the pressing-in direction.
功能區段和緊固區段較佳地形成為整體。功能元件和/或工件可以由金屬組成。然而,根據本發明的構思也可以用由其它材料組成的元件和/或工件來實現。 The functional section and the fastening section are preferably formed integrally. The functional element and/or the workpiece can consist of metal. However, the concept according to the invention can also be implemented with elements and/or workpieces composed of other materials.
功能元件通常可以是自沖的。 Functional elements can often be self-priming.
本發明的有利實施例在請求項、說明書和附圖中闡述。 Advantageous embodiments of the invention are set forth in the claims, description and drawings.
第一部分面較佳地相對於軸向傾斜大約20°至大約40°,特別是大約30°。從而,第一部分面相對於軸向具有相對小的傾斜,使得工件的材料可以被緊緊地壓靠在第一部分面上。 The first partial surface is preferably inclined with respect to the axial direction by about 20° to about 40°, in particular about 30°. Thereby, the first partial surface has a relatively small inclination with respect to the axial direction, so that the material of the workpiece can be pressed tightly against the first partial surface.
在較佳實施例中,第二部分面相對於軸向傾斜大約50°至大約70°,特別是大約60°。因而第二部分面相對於軸向相對强烈地傾斜,從而除了密封功能之外,還可以通過第二部分面形成底切部。因而功能元件牢固地保持在工件中或工件處。 In a preferred embodiment, the second partial surface is inclined with respect to the axial direction by about 50° to about 70°, in particular about 60°. The second partial surface is thus inclined relatively strongly with respect to the axial direction, so that, in addition to the sealing function, an undercut can also be formed by the second partial surface. The functional element is thus held firmly in or at the workpiece.
第一部分面和第二部分面特別可以大致彼此成直角地延伸。 In particular, the first partial surface and the second partial surface can extend approximately at right angles to each other.
第一部分面和/或第二部分面可以有利地是圓錐形的,使得它們各自形成工件的材料可以被緊緊地壓靠在其上的面。 The first part surface and/or the second part surface can advantageously be conical, so that they each form a surface against which the material of the workpiece can be pressed tightly.
第一部分面較佳地通過圓形過渡區域連接到第二部分面,以避免在從第一部分面到第二部分面的過渡處的中空空間和由此產生的泄漏。過渡區域的曲率半徑特別可以在大約0.5mm或更小的範圍內,特別地在大約0.25mm至0.35mm的範圍內。 The first partial face is preferably connected to the second partial face by a circular transition area, in order to avoid hollow spaces and consequent leakages at the transition from the first partial face to the second partial face. The radius of curvature of the transition region may in particular be in the range of approximately 0.5 mm or less, in particular in the range of approximately 0.25 mm to 0.35 mm.
根據本發明另外方面的功能元件適於壓入工件、特別是壓入鈑金零件中,並且包括:功能區段;以及緊固區段,緊固區段具有:抵靠面,其用於將壓入力引入到功能元件中;工件接觸面,其設置相對抵靠面,可以與工件接觸,並且特別地具有凸緣狀設計;以及密封區域,其用於接收工件的位移的材料,所述密封區域沿功能元件的軸向和/或徑向設置在工件接觸面與功能區段之間。密封區域形成用於位移的材料的接觸面,以密封功能元件與工件之間的連接,其中,緊固區段具有突出部,突出部在軸向上界定密封區域,並且具有面向密封區域的第一側腹(flank)和遠離密封區域並且傾斜地延伸並且相對於軸向傾斜到不同角度的第二側腹。 A functional element according to a further aspect of the invention is suitable for pressing into a workpiece, in particular a sheet metal part, and comprises: a functional section; and a fastening section having an abutment surface for pressing the pressing An input force is introduced into the functional element; a workpiece contact surface, which is provided with an opposing abutment surface, can come into contact with the workpiece, and in particular has a flange-like design; and a sealing area, which serves to receive the material displaced by the workpiece, said sealing area The functional element is arranged axially and/or radially between the workpiece contact surface and the functional section. The sealing area forms the contact surface of the material for displacement in order to seal the connection between the functional element and the workpiece, wherein the fastening section has a projection which delimits the sealing area in the axial direction and has a first surface facing the sealing area A flank and a second flank remote from the sealing region and extending obliquely and inclined to different angles with respect to the axial direction.
突出部特別可以在周向上沿周向設置在設計為螺栓元件的功能元件的軸處,並且也可以被稱為唇緣。突出部較佳徑向向外突出,並且 包括至少第一側腹和第二側腹。第一側腹特別可以形成接觸面的至少一部分,特別是第二部分面。 In particular, the projection can be arranged circumferentially at the axis of the functional element designed as a screw element and can also be referred to as a lip. The projections preferably project radially outward, and Include at least a first flank and a second flank. In particular, the first flank can form at least part of the contact surface, in particular the second partial surface.
突出部形成底切部,所述底切部終止密封區域並且將功能元件牢固地保持在工件中。從而,工件的位移的材料可以在一方面的工件接觸面或接觸面與另一方面的突出部之間的軸向上封閉。同時,突出部、特別是第一側腹也可以形成接觸面的一部分,以實現高密封效果。 The protrusions form undercuts which terminate the sealing area and hold the functional element securely in the workpiece. Thereby, the displaced material of the workpiece can be closed in the axial direction between the workpiece contact surface or the contact surface on the one hand and the projection on the other hand. At the same time, the protrusions, in particular the first flanks, can also form part of the contact surface in order to achieve a high sealing effect.
第一側腹較佳地比第二側腹相對於軸向更傾斜。從而,一方面改善了底切部的效果(即功能元件在工件中的保持),另一方面在將功能元件沿第二側腹突出的壓入方向壓入工件中時促進了功能元件的插入。 The first flank is preferably more inclined with respect to the axial direction than the second flank. Thus, on the one hand, the effect of the undercut (ie the retention of the functional element in the workpiece) is improved, and on the other hand, the insertion of the functional element is facilitated when the functional element is pressed into the workpiece in the pressing direction of the second flank projection .
第一側腹特別可以相對於軸向傾斜大約50°至大約70°,特別是大約60°。 In particular, the first flank can be inclined with respect to the axial direction by about 50° to about 70°, in particular about 60°.
在較佳實施例中,第二側腹相對於軸向傾斜大約15°至大約35°,特別是大約25°。 In a preferred embodiment, the second flank is inclined with respect to the axial direction by about 15° to about 35°, in particular about 25°.
第一側腹和第二側腹可以有利地通過連接區段彼此連接,在連接區段中,突出部具有恒定的直徑,使得突出部的設計可以適應環境,特別是工件的鈑金厚度,而不損害側腹的功能。在該實施例中,連接區段因此在軸向上延伸。連接區段較佳可以在突出部的軸向範圍的大約20%至大約70%、特別是大約40%上延伸。 The first flank and the second flank can advantageously be connected to each other by a connecting section in which the protrusion has a constant diameter, so that the design of the protrusion can be adapted to the environment, in particular the sheet metal thickness of the workpiece, without Impairs flank function. In this embodiment, the connecting section thus extends in the axial direction. The connecting section can preferably extend over about 20% to about 70%, in particular about 40%, of the axial extent of the projection.
緊固區段(例如工件接觸面)特別具有至少一個提供防止旋轉的安全性的特徵。較佳地提供防止旋轉的安全性的多個特徵,例如,這些特徵沿軸向和/或周向均勻分布地佈置。通過提供防止旋轉的安全性的特徵可以確保功能元件與工件的連接可以承受隨後經由功能區段引入的扭矩負 載。提供防止旋轉的安全性的特徵可以佈置在緊固區段的凹部或周邊凹槽中,特別是包括抵靠面和/或工件接觸面的功能元件的頭部的凹部或周邊凹槽中。 The fastening section, eg the workpiece contact surface, in particular has at least one feature which provides security against rotation. Features that preferably provide security against rotation, eg, are arranged evenly distributed in the axial and/or circumferential direction. Features that provide security against rotation ensure that the connection of the functional element to the workpiece can withstand the torque loads subsequently introduced via the functional section load. Features providing security against rotation can be arranged in recesses or peripheral grooves of the fastening section, in particular in the recesses or peripheral grooves of heads of functional elements comprising abutment and/or workpiece contact surfaces.
提供防止旋轉的安全性的特徵可以配置為徑向和/或軸向延伸的肋或凹槽。提供防止旋轉的安全性的特徵特別地均勻佈置並且在徑向上以彼此相等的角間隔延伸。 Features that provide security against rotation may be configured as radially and/or axially extending ribs or grooves. The features providing security against rotation are in particular evenly arranged and extend radially at equal angular intervals to each other.
工件接觸面可以具有凹部,特別是環形凹部,其中第一部分面較佳地能够延伸到凹部中和/或併入到凹部中。 The workpiece contact surface can have a recess, in particular an annular recess, wherein the first partial surface can preferably extend into the recess and/or merge into the recess.
根據實施例,除了凹部之外或作為凹部的替代,工件接觸面具有凸起部。凸起部在橫截面中觀察時可以至少部分地為楔形設計。楔形較佳地朝向第一部分面傾斜。第一部分面可以併入凸起部中。 According to an embodiment, the workpiece contact surface has protrusions in addition to or instead of the recesses. The projections can be of at least partially wedge-shaped design when viewed in cross-section. The wedge shape is preferably inclined towards the first partial face. The first partial face can be incorporated into the raised portion.
凸起部的一個功能可以是在元件與工件的配合時輔助工件的材料位移到密封區域中。 One function of the protrusions may be to assist in the displacement of the material of the workpiece into the sealing area upon engagement of the element with the workpiece.
提供防止旋轉的安全性的特徵(如果存在的話)可以佈置在凹部中和/或凸起部處。 Features that provide security against rotation, if present, may be disposed in the recesses and/or at the raised portions.
凹部特別可以與功能元件的壓入方向相反地定向,使得工件的材料在壓入凹部時至少部分地位移,並且在那裡特別被壓靠在接觸面的第一部分面上。 In particular, the recess can be oriented opposite to the pressing direction of the functional element, so that the material of the workpiece is at least partially displaced when pressed into the recess and is pressed there in particular against the first partial surface of the contact surface.
在有利的實施例中,工件接觸面併入第一部分面。 In an advantageous embodiment, the workpiece contact surface merges into the first partial surface.
本發明還關於一種元件組裝,其具有工件,特別是鈑金零件,其中,根據上述實施例中的至少一個的功能元件被壓入到在工件中預製的孔中或由功能元件沖出的孔中。在這方面,根據本發明的功能元件被壓入 孔中,使得通過壓入或在壓入之後位移的工件的材料接收在密封區域中並且與接觸面緊密接觸。 The invention also relates to a component assembly with a workpiece, in particular a sheet metal part, in which a functional element according to at least one of the above-described embodiments is pressed into holes prefabricated in the workpiece or punched out from the functional element . In this respect, the functional element according to the invention is pressed in into the hole so that the material of the workpiece displaced by or after the press-in is received in the sealing area and in close contact with the contact surface.
工件的位移的材料特別接觸突出部或者至少部分地或完全地圍繞突出部。 The displaced material of the workpiece in particular contacts the protrusion or at least partially or completely surrounds the protrusion.
工件的厚度至少在孔的區域中可以小於或大致等於密封區域的軸向範圍。 The thickness of the workpiece may be less than or approximately equal to the axial extent of the sealing region, at least in the region of the bore.
然而,替代性地,工件的厚度至少在孔的區域中可以大於或大致等於密封區域的軸向範圍。 Alternatively, however, the thickness of the workpiece may be greater than or approximately equal to the axial extent of the sealing region, at least in the region of the bore.
根據另一方面,本發明還關於一種製造根據本發明的元件組裝的方法,該方法包括以下步驟: According to another aspect, the present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing an assembly of elements according to the invention, the method comprising the steps of:
- 提供根據本發明的功能元件; - providing functional elements according to the invention;
- 提供工件,特別是鈑金零件;以及 - supply of workpieces, especially sheet metal parts; and
- 將功能元件插入到工件中的預製孔中或通過功能元件沖出的孔中, 並且將壓入力引入到抵靠面中,使得工件接觸面與工件接觸;以及 - inserting functional elements into prefabricated holes in the workpiece or holes punched through functional elements, and introducing a pressing force into the abutment surface so that the workpiece contact surface is in contact with the workpiece; and
- 將工件的材料位移到密封區域中,使得材料被壓靠在接觸面上,以在功能元件與工件之間建立密封連接。 - Displacement of the material of the workpiece into the sealing area so that the material is pressed against the contact surface to establish a sealed connection between the functional element and the workpiece.
根據實施例,功能元件是自沖的,使得工件的預沖是不必要的。 According to an embodiment, the functional element is self-flushing, so that pre-flushing of the workpiece is not necessary.
材料的位移可以通過將模具壓靠在工件的遠離工件接觸面的面上來發生。在這方面,模具被適當地設計成將工件的材料位移到密封區域中,使得材料被壓靠在接觸面上,以在功能元件與工件之間建立密封連接。 Displacement of the material can occur by pressing the die against the face of the workpiece remote from the workpiece contact surface. In this respect, the mould is suitably designed to displace the material of the workpiece into the sealing area, so that the material is pressed against the contact surface to establish a sealing connection between the functional element and the workpiece.
在方法中,工件特別地設置在包括合適的模具的支撑件上。然後,所引入的壓入力也用於位移材料。然而,在將功能元件插入孔中和/或引入壓入力以便使工件的材料位移期間或之後,還可以將模具壓靠在工件的遠離工件接觸面的面上。 In the method, the workpiece is arranged in particular on a support including a suitable mold. The introduced press-in force is then also used to displace the material. However, it is also possible to press the die against the face of the workpiece remote from the workpiece contact surface during or after the insertion of the functional element into the hole and/or the introduction of a pressing force to displace the material of the workpiece.
工件材料的位移也可以在壓入期間由元件頭部的元件引起。 Displacement of the workpiece material can also be caused by the elements of the element head during press-in.

在各種情况下可以從圖1和圖2看到配置為具有凸緣的壓入螺栓的功能元件10,並且圖9和圖10示出了配置為螺母元件的功能元件10,所述功能元件10具有功能區段11和緊固區段13。緊固區段13是功能元件10的區段,功能元件10利用該區段緊固到工件50,這將在下面更詳細地描述。功能元件10各自具有頭部43。根據圖1和圖2的配置為壓
入螺栓的功能元件10還具有軸41,在該軸上形成螺紋45(外螺紋)。內螺紋45(參見圖11a)設置在配置為螺母元件的功能元件10處。
A
相應的頭部43具有用於將壓入力引入功能元件10中的抵靠面15和與抵靠面15相對設置的凸緣狀工件接觸面17。在功能元件10的軸向和/或徑向上,密封區域19位於工件接觸面17與功能區段11之間,所述密封區域19具有用於工件50的位移的材料的接觸面21,以密封功能元件10與工件50之間的連接。
The
圖1和圖2的元件10的軸41從遠離抵靠面15的一側延伸。然而,也可以將軸佈置在抵靠面15處(在軸具有圓形橫截面的情况下,抵靠面15將是環形的)。在緊固區段13的其它設計不變的情况下,密封區域19接著在軸向視圖中同樣設置在工件接觸面17與功能區段11之間。
The
接觸面21的設計在圖3a至圖5中清楚地示出。接觸面21包括:錐形的第一部分面23,其傾斜於功能元件10的軸向延伸,並且在功能元件10的壓入方向E上觀察時聚集;和錐形的第二部分面25,其在壓入方向E上觀察時設置在第一部分面23與功能區段11之間,借助於圓形的過渡區域27鄰接第一部分面23,同樣傾斜於功能元件10的軸向延伸,並且在功能元件10的壓入方向E上觀察時發散。具體地,第一部分面23可以相對於軸向傾斜大約20°至大約40°,特別是大約30°,並且第二部分面25可以相對於軸向傾斜大約50°至大約70°,特別是大約60°。例如,從圖3b和圖4中可以看出,兩個部分面23、25可以彼此大致成直角地延伸。替代性地,如圖5所示,部分面23、25之間的角度也可以大於90°,比如高達135°。
The design of the
如圖11a至圖12b中的實施例示例清楚地示出,設計為螺母元件的功能元件10的接觸面21也包括第一部分面23和錐形的第二部分面25,該錐形的第二部分面借助於圓形的過渡區域27鄰接第一部分面23,傾斜於功能元件10的軸向延伸,並且在功能元件10的壓入方向E上觀察時發散。在本示例中,第一部分面23大致平行於壓入方向E延伸;然而,功能元件10也可以設計成使得第一部分面23傾斜於軸向延伸,並且在壓入方向E上觀察時聚集,如圖11b中的虛線所示。
11a to 12b clearly show that the
在這方面,壓入方向E表示功能元件10如預期地壓入鈑金零件50中的方向。壓入方向E平行於功能元件10的軸向從抵靠面15沿工件接觸面17的方向延伸,其中抵靠面15和工件接觸面17大致垂直於壓入方向E延伸。
In this respect, the press-in direction E denotes the direction in which the
接觸面21(實際上是第一部分面23)延伸到根據圖1至圖8b的在頭部43中形成的功能元件10的(環形)凹部39中,並在那裡併入工件接觸面17中。多個徑向延伸的肋形成在凹部39中,作為提供防止旋轉的安全性的特徵37。凹部39還與功能元件10的壓入方向E相反地定向,使得工件50的材料在壓入凹部39中時至少部分地位移,並且在這樣做時抵靠第一部分面23。
The contact surface 21 (actually the first partial surface 23 ) extends into the (annular)
根據圖9至圖11b的功能元件10不具有該凹部39。代替地,設置楔形的凸起的突出部40,其徑向向內傾斜並且經由圓形的過渡區段28併入到第一部分面23。在所示的實施例示例中,第一部分面23具有以沿周向均勻分布的軸向肋的形式提供防止旋轉的安全性的特徵37。凸起部還
較佳地具有提供防止旋轉的安全性的特徵37,在此作為示例為沿周向均勻分布的徑向凹槽。
The
如果需要,則上述凹部39和凸起部40可以結合(且以修改的形式),並且在螺母元件和螺栓元件兩者中實現。
If desired, the
此外,緊固區段13包括突出部29,其在周向上徑向向外延伸,並且在軸向上界定密封區域19。突出部29具有:第一側腹31,其面向密封區域19並且在該第一側腹上形成接觸面21的第二部分面25;和第二側腹33,其遠離密封區域19。此外,配置為壓入螺栓的功能元件10的突出部29與螺母元件不同,具有將兩個側腹31、33彼此連接的可選連接區段35。突出部29的直徑沿著其軸向範圍變化,並且在壓入方向E上觀察時在第一側腹31的區域中增大,在連接區段35的區域中保持恒定,並且在第二側腹33的區域中减小。因此,側腹31、33傾斜於功能元件10的軸向延伸。
Furthermore, the
如圖4特別示出的,第一側腹31可以比第二側腹33相對於軸向更傾斜。一方面,由此產生接觸面21的特別有效的設計和由突出部29產生的有效的底切部。另一方面,第二側腹33的相對輕微的定位或傾斜促進將突出部29插入成形的孔中。
As particularly shown in FIG. 4 , the
作為替代,突出部29可以是大致對稱的設計,從而側腹31、33相對於軸向(例如參見圖3b)的傾斜相等,或者第一側腹31相對於軸向的傾斜可以小於第二側腹33相對於軸向的傾斜,例如,如圖5所示。具體地,第一側腹31可以有利地相對於軸向傾斜大約50°至大約70°,特別是
大約60°,並且第二側腹33可以相對於軸向傾斜大約15°至大約35°,特別是大約25°。
Alternatively, the
功能元件10與工件50的配合特別可從圖6a至圖8b以及圖12a和圖12b中清楚地看到,這些圖各自示出了根據本發明的元件組裝100。如圖所示,工件50在各種情况下例如配置為具有較佳延展性的鈑金零件。工件50在各種情况下具有與功能元件10的工件接觸面17接觸的面51和處於與工件50相對側設置的面53。在圖6a、圖6b、圖7a、圖7b和圖8a、圖8b所示的各種情况下的工件50具有增加的厚度T50,以指示根據本發明的構思可用於具有最多樣特性的工件。
The cooperation of the
功能元件10在各種情况下被壓入到設置在工件50中的成形孔中,例如鑽孔或預沖孔,使得工件50的和密封區域19中的以及凹部39(如果存在的話)中的位移的材料被接收並與接觸面21緊密接觸。這通過第一部分面23的傾斜佈置而簡化,因為材料不必被如此深地壓入密封區域19中以與所述第一部分面23區域接觸。在這方面,根據工件50的厚度T50,工件50的位移的材料接觸突出部29(圖6b、圖8b、圖12b)或甚至完全圍繞它(圖7b)。從而,根據本發明的功能元件10致能製造優良密封的元件組裝100,並且實際上與相應工件50的厚度T50無關。
The
特別地,可以遵循以下過程來製造圖6a至圖7b所示的元件組裝100:
In particular, the following process may be followed to manufacture the
首先,提供根據本發明的功能元件10和工件50,特別是其中形成有成形孔的鈑金零件。然後將功能元件10插入成形孔中,使得工件接觸面17面向面51。
First of all, a
在這方面,壓入力被引入到抵靠面15中並且使工件接觸面17與工件50接觸。該壓入力可以被使用成使得工件50的材料被推入密封區域19中並且被壓靠在接觸面21上。為此,可以在遠離工件接觸面17的面53上設置圖未示的模具。由於壓入力,模具的沖頭被壓入面53中,其中,在工件50的鄰接孔的區域中形成環形凹槽55。因此,將模具的沖頭壓入工件50中鄰接孔的區域中使工件50的流入密封區域19中的材料位移,並且材料在這樣做時抵靠接觸面21。
In this respect, a pressing force is introduced into the
通常還可以想到的是,首先將功能元件10插入工件50中,並且在單獨的和/或隨後的步驟中借助於模具實現位移材料的步驟。
It is also generally conceivable to first insert the
在圖8a、圖8b的元件組裝100中,材料的位移不由具有沖頭的模具實現,而是工件50的面53設置在孔周圍區域中的大致平坦的支撑面上。在此,材料的位移通過將頭部43部分地壓入面51中來實現。由於平坦的支撑面,材料無法向下逸出,因此被推入密封區域19中,直到它區域地並因此緊密地接觸第一部分面23為止。
In the
在根據圖12a、圖12b的元件組裝100中,材料的位移由凸起部40來實現。頭部43沒有被壓入工件50中,而是僅僅被壓靠在工件面51上,直到工件接觸面17接觸它為止。在這方面,凸起部40穿透工件50。其徑向向內傾斜的楔形形狀支持材料直接位移到密封區域19中。
In the
應當理解,如果材料的位移在相應的應用中是有用的,則可以組合材料的位移的上述構思。 It will be appreciated that the above concepts of displacement of material can be combined if displacement of material is useful in the respective application.
在此示出和描述的實施例示例的共同之處在於,它們提供了一種功能元件或元件組裝,其以較小的工作量並且在沒有額外的密封方式 的情况下實現元件組裝的密封連接。通過適當地選擇第一部分面和第二部分面、第一側腹和第二側腹、過渡區段和/或連接區段的設計,特別是空間佈置、範圍和/或傾斜,功能元件可以適應於存在的相應條件。 The embodiment examples shown and described here have in common that they provide a functional element or an assembly of elements with less effort and without additional sealing means The sealed connection of the component assembly is achieved in the case of By suitable selection of the design, in particular the spatial arrangement, extent and/or inclination of the first and second partial surfaces, the first and second flanks, the transition sections and/or the connecting sections, the functional elements can be adapted in the corresponding conditions of existence.
上述實施例示例有關於可插入到預沖工件中的功能元件。然而,這些元件也可以是自沖的,特別是軸從抵靠面延伸的螺母元件或螺栓元件。為此,它們的緊固區段可以設有面向工件的沖壓邊緣。 The above-described embodiment examples relate to functional elements that can be inserted into pre-punched workpieces. However, these elements can also be self-piercing, in particular nut elements or bolt elements whose shafts extend from the abutment surfaces. For this purpose, their fastening sections can be provided with punched edges facing the workpiece.
